AMAZING ORIGINAL INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER B-160 SERIES TRUCK WITH AN AMAZING DOCUMENTED HISTORY! TRUCK IS IN FABULOUS CONDITION WITH MANY DOLLARS RECENTLY INVESTED IN IT. ALL RECEIPTS SHOWN AND INCLUDED. THIS TRUCK DRIVES GREAT, RUNS GREAT, 2-SPEED REAR END WORKS PERFECTLY, HYDRAULIC GRAIN BOX LIFTS PERFECTLY, INSIDE IS FANTASTIC, OVER $3,000.00 IN REPAIR RECEIPTS ALONE! THIS TRUCK WAS WORTH THE INVESTMENT TO GET IT MECHANICALLY PERFECT! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO SEE A COLLECTOR GET THIS AND PUT A FLAT BED ON THE BACK TO HAUL A RESTORED FARMALL OR IH TRACTOR. YOU WOULD BE THE TALK OF THE SHOW. THE FRAME ON THIS TRUCK IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! IF YOU ARE AN IH ENTHUSIAST YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THAT I HAVE BEEN SELLING A FEW PIECES OUT OF MY COLLECTION TO FREE UP INCOME FOR MY 68 TRAVELALL. CHECK MY FEEDBACK ON THESE TRANSACTIONS. THEY ARE ALL 100% PERFECTLY HAPPY BUYERS. THIS AUCTION WILL BE THE SAME! THIS TRUCK IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AND RESERVE PRICE IS BELOW WHAT I HAVE IN THE REPAIR RECEIPTS ALONE! DONT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 10 YEARS OR MORE AND HAVE TO DUMP THOUSANDS INTO MISC. ITEMS ( LIKE I DID). PURCHASE THIS TRUCK AND DRIVE IT HOME. ALL YOU NEED TO BE COMPLETELY RESTORED IS PAINT/UPHOLSTERY TOUCHUP. HERE IS THE HISTORY OF THIS TRUCK AS I KNOW IT. THIS TRUCK WAS SOLD ORDERED AND PURCHASED BRAND NEW SEPT. 30TH OF THE YEAR 1961 FROM THE " INTERNATIONAL STORE" IN BRECKENRIDGE, MI. THIS DEALERSHIP WAS FORMERLY " MILLER IMPLEMENT" AND BECAME A INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER OWNED STORE IN THE LATE 50'S. A GENTLEMEN BY THE NAME OF CLARENCE CARD OF MERRILL,MI ( CO-OWNER OF CARD BROTHERS IMPLEMENT) IN CHESANING PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW TO USE AT THEIR WHITE/AGCO DEALERSHIP FOR IMPLEMENT DELIVERIES. "CARD BROTHERS IMPLEMENT" IS STILL IN BUSINESS TODAY IN CHESANING , MI. AFTER MANY , MANY YEARS OF SITTING INSIDE THE SHOP AT CARD BROTHERS THIS TRUCK ONLY SHOWED 60,000 ACTUAL MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT WAS THEN PURCHASED BY A GENTLEMEN IN CHESANING TO HAUL BEANS AND CORN EACH YEAR TO THE HEMLOCK ELEVATOR. PASSED DOWN TO HIS SON AFTER HIS PASSING IT CONTINUED TO HAUL A 40 ACRE BEAN/CORN ROTATION TO HEMLOCK EACH FALL AND ENJOYED A STALL UNDER ROOF DURING THE OFF SEASON. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK AND DROVE IT HOME ABOUT 2 HOURS WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE MANIFOLDS HOWEVER WERE CRACKED AND BRAKES SEEMED WEAK. IT THEN SPENT THE NEXT 30 DAYS INSIDE A LOCAL SERVICE FACILITY GETTING A MECHANICAL MAKEOVER. ( RECEIPTS INCLUDED). I BROUGHT IT HOME AND DROVE IT SOME OVER THE SUMMER FOR FUN AND THEN LAST FALL TO HAUL MY CORN HARVEST. MY FATHER ALSO DROVE IT TO AN ELEVATOR IN WEST BRANCH ,MI (40 MINUTES FROM HOME) WITH A FEW LOADS OF OATS. ALL WITHOUT INCIDENT. I WOULD TRULY LOVE TO SEE THIS GREAT PIECE OF HISTORY END UP WITH AN IH ENTHUSIEST BUT WOULD MAKE A GREAT GRAIN HAULING TRUCK FOR YOUR SMALL FARM ALSO. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SEND ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. BID TO OWN AND BID WITH CONFINDENCE!

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO UPLOAD THE PICTURES SOME OF YOU HAVE REQUESTED. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS I FINALLY CALLED EBAY'S CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ASSURED ME THEY ARE WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. I DO HAVE PICTURES OF THE ENGINE / ENGINE COMPARTMENT, THE CAB CORNERS ( WHICH ARE PERFECT) AND THE REAR GRAIN UNLOADING DOOR. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE. KEVIN
